Richmond Recession Busters



As I headed down Ninth Avenue toward a day of meandering about Clement Street, I was greeted by a peculiar and cheerful sight. Some resourceful neighbor had bypassed the bookshop consignment route and set up their own unmanned used book kiosk. Clearly, these folks are handy with scissors and construction paper.
Not a bad selection of paperbacks either. I deposited one dollar into the can, feeling quite virtuous for adhering to the honor system, and deposited my new copy of The Teahouse Fire, by Ellis Avery, into my knapsack. I applaud my neighbors for their initiative. I hope other San Franciscans follow their lead.
